Bare-metal GPIO skill for pin configuration and interrupts. An agent skill from mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills.

  • Works in 5 steps: STM32 GPIO pattern → Input with pull-up → EXTI interrupt (STM32) → …
  • Configuring GPIO modes
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, When to Use, Workflow and Common Problems, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Gpio Baremetal is an agent skill from mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills. Bare-metal GPIO skill for pin configuration and interrupts. Use when configuring GPIO modes, alternate functions, pull resistors, or EXTI interrupts on STM32/nRF/ESP32-class MCUs. Activates on queries about GPIO MODER, alternate function, pin interrupt, or LED/button bare-metal setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Embedded systems. It works with ESP32. The repository describes itself as: A curated suite of AI agent skills for systems and low-level programming with C/C++, Rust, and Zig toolchains, covering compilers, debuggers, profilers, build systems…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Configuring GPIO modes
  • Alternate functions
  • EXTI interrupts on STM32/nRF/ESP32-class MCUs

Example prompts

  • “/gpio-baremetal”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. STM32 GPIO pattern
  2. Input with pull-up
  3. EXTI interrupt (STM32)
  4. nRF52 / ESP32 notes
  5. Agent usage

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bdc5847. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are c).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gpio Baremetal loads about 703 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 171 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~703

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Bare-metal GPIO skill for pin configuration and interrupts. Use when configuring GPIO modes, alternate functions, pull resistors, or EXTI interrupts on STM32/nRF/ESP32-class MCUs. Activates on queries about GPIO MODER, alternate function, pin interrupt, or LED/button bare-metal setup.

GPIO (Bare-Metal)

Purpose

Configure and use GPIO without HAL: input/output modes, alternate function mapping, pull-up/down, speed/slew, and pin-change interrupts for LEDs, buttons, and peripheral pin mux.

When to Use

  • Blink LED or read button before bringing up UART/SPI
  • Mux pins to USART/SPI alternate functions
  • EXTI line interrupts on pin edges
  • Porting GPIO code between vendors

Workflow

1. STM32 GPIO pattern
c
/* Enable GPIOA clock */
RCC->AHB1ENR |= RCC_AHB1ENR_GPIOAEN;

/* PA5 output — MODER[11:10] = 01 */
GPIOA->MODER &= ~(3U << (5 * 2));
GPIOA->MODER |=  (1U << (5 * 2));

/* Toggle via BSRR — atomic set/reset */
GPIOA->BSRR = (1U << 5);       /* set */
GPIOA->BSRR = (1U << (5+16));  /* reset */

Alternate function (e.g., USART2 TX on PA2):

c
GPIOA->MODER &= ~(3U << (2*2));
GPIOA->MODER |=  (2U << (2*2));           /* AF mode */
GPIOA->AFR[0] &= ~(0xFU << (2*4));
GPIOA->AFR[0] |=  (7U << (2*4));          /* AF7 = USART2 */
2. Input with pull-up
c
/* PC13 input, pull-up */
GPIOC->MODER &= ~(3U << (13*2));          /* input mode 00 */
GPIOC->PUPDR &= ~(3U << (13*2));
GPIOC->PUPDR |=  (1U << (13*2));          /* pull-up */

int pressed = !(GPIOC->IDR & (1U << 13)); /* active low */
3. EXTI interrupt (STM32)
c
/* SYSCFG: map EXTI13 to PC13 */
SYSCFG->EXTICR[3] = (SYSCFG->EXTICR[3] & ~0xFU) | 0x2;  /* port C */
EXTI->IMR  |= (1U << 13);
EXTI->FTSR |= (1U << 13);  /* falling edge */
NVIC_EnableIRQ(EXTI15_10_IRQn);

ISR: check EXTI->PR, clear with write-1.

4. nRF52 / ESP32 notes
PlatformPattern
nRF52NRF_P0->PIN_CNF[n] — direction, pull, drive
ESP32GPIO.out_w1ts, GPIO.enable; IO_MUX for function

Always enable peripheral clock / power domain before pin config.

5. Agent usage
/gpio-baremetal Configure PA2 as USART2 TX alternate function on STM32F4
